Convert ID is a tool for converting entry identifiers (accession numbers) of outside databases to KEGG identifiers, which is necessary for most KEGG Mapper tools. Exceptions are Search&Color Pathway and Search Disease, which include the ID conversion feature and accept outside identifiers.
The default target database is the entire KEGG GENES database (all organisms, viruses and addendum), but the conversion is faster by selecting a target organism, such as "hsa" for Homo sapiens.
